You may not believe it based on their performances over the last year or so, but Manchester United actually have the most expensive squad in the Premier League.

While Chelsea and Manchester City’s spending power is almost limitless, United have been revealed as the club that top the table for the most lucrative crop of players in the division.

Louis van Gaal’s plans to right last season’s wrongs at Old Trafford have seen United’s summer spending spiral to £105million this summer, which gives them an overall squad value of £401.2m – a whopping £57m more than defending champions City.
